How To Switch On Sniper God Mode
Sniping successfully is a test of your overall skills vs that of your opponent, but there are ways and means of getting ahead of the game and giving yourself advantages. And I don’t mean breaking rules, like hot guns/cheating chrono, spawn camping, or being unethical by trying to run a ghillie with a minigun or…

Airsoft packing list
A few kit lists for your airsoft game days. I’ve done loads fo blogs about what kit I take, and why, and why I’ve chosen certain things over others that I’ve used. What I thought might be helpful would just be a straight up packing list that you guys might be able to print off,…

Natural Veg in your Ghillie
“Veg is the Edge” you might hear in some forums. “The way to create a perfect ghillie is to add in natural vegetation from the area you’re in”. “Real plants obviously work much better than fake ones”. This is being written purely for Airsoft snipers. And I’m going to disagree with all of that, because…

Sniper Tactics – Bounding
Airsoft sniping is all about good movement and good decisions. I’ll be expanding on this a lot in the coming weeks. One of the most fundamental techniques is bounding, which isn’t just limited to AEG users in a concrete playground. I’ll be breaking this idea down both with a sniper pair, and as a solo…

Review – The Action Army VSR Hop-Up Chamber V2 (Damping Type)
I got a message late one evening from the guys at Skirmshop UK to ask if I’d like to test out the new Action Army VSR hop chamber. Less than 14hrs later it arrived, which is ideal when you need things to arrive on your days off work so you can plan your tech sessions.…

Airsoft Sniping in an Urban Environment
The typical image of an airsoft sniper is a walking bush, at one with the forest, moving quietly through the trees as they stalk targets, caked in mud and taking half the vegetation along with them. What is rarely discussed though is the sniper in an urban environment instead. Not the type of games you…

Working with your environment
Having a really consistent rifle is a good start on your path to becoming a good sniper. A ghillie that blends correctly into your area and disrupts your outline helps keep you hidden. But your wallet will only take you so far, and it’s the stuff you can’t buy that makes the real difference out…

How to cut and use Haloscreen
While having a ghillie crafting session this afternoon, a question popped up from one of the team about how I apply Haloscreen mesh to my kit. It’s dead easy, but worth a quick blog about as a guide. So, Haloscreen. The ultimate negative space 3D material. I really can’t recommend it enough, it’s light years…
